At tli'w tiino when thu prevalence of crime and tho boldness of criminals nro subjects of almost daily discussion, tho copious extracts from the annual report of tho Inspectors of tho Eastern Penitentiary which wo printed yestorday aro deaerving of tho most careful consideration. Tho argumonts of tho Inspectors all tend to the support of one point tho superiority of tha geparato over tho congregate systom of prison discipline as a means of reformation; and it imut be acknowledged, even by tho most zealous advocate of tho congregate systom, that the Inspectors make out a very strong case. There Is in tills and every other community a class of people, tho very quintessence of respectability, who hate no faith whatever in humanity outride of their own circle. The old rhyme of our school days "There's no repentance In tho Rravc, Nor pardon oil'tirert to tlio dead," they seek to apply to tho living as well, and stoutly maintain that a creature who has once gone seriously astray, who has openly and re peatedly defied nearly every command in the Decalogue, is lost beyond all hope, and that ho ahall therefore be shut In forever from the world. There may at best be but a limited chance for reformation, but the congregate systom sur rounds tuc convict with a thousand temptations and a thousand incentives to the continuance of a criminal career, after liberty is regained, from which he Is happily relieved by tho separate sys tem. Tho records prove that out of a given num ber of discharged convicts, nearly twice as many have bcou recommitted in Massachusetts, where tho congregate system has prevailed, as In Penn sylvania, and this result is perfectly natural. The convict sent to the Eastern Penetentlary forms no new criminal associations, and when he leaves its walls, if he chooses to seek a new homo and to begin a new life, he has nothing to fear from the exposure and denunciation of his old fellow-criminals. There are a considera ble number of well-attested cases in which a thorough reformation has thus been effected, and there are living now in various portions of the United States honest, Industrious, and use ful men who paid the penalty of a youthful crime within tho walls of Cherry Hill, but who have none of the difficulties to contend with which Victor Hugo has so graphically portrayed in his sketch of Jean Valjean. Congregate prisons are inevitably schools of crime. Ihey afford ample opportunities for villains of every grade to dissemminate their criminal knowledge; aud as every man discharged must feel that he may at any moment be recognized and exposed by one of his associates, the difficulties involved In the commencement and continuance of an honest career are immeasurably increased. These advantages are so obvious that they arc almost universally conceded, and the opponents of the separate system antagonize it mainly on two grounds first, (,tliat;it is Inhuman to deprive a man of society; and second, that separate con vict labor is less profitable than congregate con vict labor. The logical answer to the first objection is, that the Pennsylvania system contemplates separate but not solitary confinement; and that while the prisoner is deprived of all bad associa tions he is brought into direct contact with good influences. It was formerly alleged that the Pennsylvania system produced insanity and destroyed health, but this theory is not sustained by the statistics; for while the percentage of deaths in the East ern Penitentiary was not much larger than the percentage in the Massachusetts State Prison, the percentage sent to a lunatic asylum was much greater under the congregate than the separate system of confinement. The fallacy of expecting to realize substantial profits from congregate convict labor is demon strated by the experience of New York, where the exces of expenditure over earnings, in the Sing Sing and Auburn Prisons, during the last three years, has amounted to nearly six hundred thousand dollars; and, so far as economical con siderations are concerned, the Pennsylvania sys tem needs no better vindication than tho fact that tho whole cost of maintaining the prisoners, exclusive of the appropriation by the Common wealth, was but thirty-six cents per capita per diem. What Pennsylvania most needs now is the erection of a new penitentiary, or the enlarge ment of the old ones, and the improvement of the county jails, or the establishment of such a system as will ensure the proper confinement of jill prisouers. Tho rci6rt Of the Inspectors also gives au In structive lesson as to the primary cause of crime. Of the 253 prisoners committed during the last year, only 41 were illiterate, while 180 could road and write; so their crimes cannot be charged to ignorance. Intemperance no doubt had an influence, but 40 of the convicts were abstainers, 134 moderate drinkers, 59 wero some times intoxicated, and only 20 often Intoxi cated. But under the head of ''industrial rela tions" wo aro informed that of the 253 con victs, ouly 17 had served full terms of appren ticeship, 31 had been "apprenticed aud left," while 205, or more than eighty per cent, of the whole number, had been unapprenticcd ! The Penitentiary, therefore, evidently gathers Its recruits, mainly from the large and growing class who are too indolent or too ignorant to work, effectively, too proud to beg, and who report to dishonest practices for a livelihood, Of all the prisoners confined within Its walls, ti.r.u.-ff.iLrtlis were sentenced for lar- .piiv robbcrv. counterfeiting, or forgery, Tho true field for reformatory effort is to teach the rising generation how to work. Let us have more industrial schools, au i..,...oH ninrentlceshiu stem, and a more u-nnnrai recognition among all classes of the truth, old as the hills but as unchanging, that au idle brain Is the Devil s workshop, and that a youth squandered In Inefficient folly naturally leads to a criminal manhood. JJAVi LISJI NE UTUA LI T 1 '. I'nu r .,, Timva vfKti;rdav momlnir launched . 1 . 1 .. . If- U. ...... ...Il I another Uiumicrooil ui air. tiuiiiiiiTi rri-tu ... the Hcuute on tho Johnson-Clarendon treaty, concluding the tirade with the following par.i !4ri.li: "The question Is one M law and not of tVi'llnir. It lemtmiti u be show u that Ureut Brltutu can be held answerahlo for any InfraiHIon of law or excess over tho ordinary rwtloe of birth oouptrtca. ThU utatoinont of the citso, although -mado In an In tores t directly opposed to the claim of the United SUtcs, is as clear and just a presentation as cotdd bo made, Tho question is, and has boon from tho outset, "ono of law and not Of fooling." Simple justice at tho hands of a nation with which wo had boon for half a contury on'frlondly and peaceful terms, Is all that wo now demand from Great Britain; and if this simple Justice had boon accorded ua, as It Is laid down by all tho standard writers on international law, at the bo ginning of tho Rebellion and throughout its con tinuance, tho Alabama claims would Dover have occupied so prominont a place In history, and Rcvcrdy Johnson's golden opportunity for af tor dinner garrulousness would have been wanting. ' The ruling clivsscs Of Eagland, however, elected nt tho outwit to make tho question ono of fooling, and not ono of law. Despite and lu de fiance of their professions of holy horror at tho enormities of the peculiar Institution for whoso permanence tho South contendod, they cast tho great weight of tholr moral inftuonco In tho scale against the Union, not because they hated slavery less, but because they hated frocdoin more. The fundamental principle on which our system of government is based is entirely at variance with tho idea of aristocratical supre macy which still undorlles aud thoroughly im bues the British constitution. If our language and customs had been difforont from those of England, tho moral influonco of American insti tutions upon those of tho othor cotntry would bo materially decreased; but this community of languago aud customs has always boon fraught with danger to such of tho Institutions of England as aro less liberal in principle and less oppressive in practical working than our own. From this source sprung the sym pathy exhibited by the ruling classes of Great Britain for tho Southern cause. It was felt that the suppression of the Rebellion would react visibly aud speedily upon public senti ment on tho othor side of tho ocean, and espe cially in England; that it would demonstrate the entire capacity of man for successful self government; that It would encourage the masses of the common people throughout the world to continue their longings for tho common rights of humanity to persevere in their repeated attempts at wresting from tho aristocracy a full acknowledgment and strict observance of these rights. The obligations of the law of nations, the dictates of humanity, the professions of the past, the aspirations of tho future, all wero lost sight of in the strong tide of mere feeling which swept over the nation and dictated its policy towards a government that was struggling for its very existence. And now is presented tho great question Shall the claims which we have presented against Great Britalu be ad j anted on the basis of feeling or on that of law? Tho tender heart and voracious appetite of Reverdy Johnson were soon found to be his weakest points, aud by a studious assault upon them ho was won over completely, and gave full vent to his foel ings after every dinner of which ho partook. The Johneon-Clarcndou treaty was subscribed to by lilm while thus swayed, and the English nation rubbed its hands in glee at tho prospect of such an easy deliverance from the peril in which its mistaken policy had involved it. But the Senate of the United Statos, supported by the unanimous voice of tho American people, rejected the terms of surrender proposed, view ing tho treaty in the light in which it was held by Mr. Sumner, when he uttered these word: "A treaty which, instead of removing an exlstlnir grievance, leaves It for heartburning and rancor, cannot bo considered a settlement of pending ques tions between two nations. It may seem to settle them, bat does not. It is nothing but a snare. And such is the character of the treaty now before us. The massive grievance under which our country suf fered for years is left untouched; the painful sense of wrong planted in the national heart is allowed to remain. For all this there is not one word of regret or even of recognition ; nor is there any semblauce of compensation." If we hud been willing to ubmlt to a settle ment dictated by fectiug alone, the result could be attained only by a smothering of our own feelings, in order that tlior.0 of England might have full sway. But we insist, and shall con tinue to insist, upon a settlement of tho Alabama-claims question on the basis of law. When such a settlement is secured, it will no longer bo problematical as to whether or not "Great Britain can be held answerable for any Infrac tion of law or excess over the ordinary practice of both countries." HO! FOB SAN FRANCISCO. The greatest work of our century haa been com pleted, and by the laying of the last rail which unites the Union Pacific with the Central Pacific road, the grand highway across the American continent is a thing accomplished; and although the formal opening of tho road is yet to take place, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are con nected by a link of iron, and San Francisco and Philadelphia are practically as near to each other as Philadelphia and New York were oue hundred years ago. It was expected that the connection between tho two roads would bo made by the beginning of July, so that the com pletion of the great enterprise would add a zest to the popular celebration of our natioual anni versary. The energy, however, with which tho work has been carried on lias brought about a meeting between the rival parties of road builders sooner than was exuuetcd. and tho Fourth of July will find tho Pacific Railroad in full opera tion. The rapidity with which this road has boon built is the more wonderful when wo consider the enormous obstacles that had to be ovorcome The point where the Union Pacific and the Cen tral Pacific unite is nearly eleven hundred miles weBt of Omaha, tho starting point, which but a few years ago was the centre of a wilderness un explored and unknown except to the Indians and a few half savage frontier men. During tho three years since its commencement the Union Pacific Rond has pushed its way across the desert, carrying with it the materials of con struction; it has scaled the Rocky Mountains over obstacles that would appear to be Insur mountable; it lias invaded the secluded retreat where the Mormons hoped that they would for ever bo beyond the reach of modem civilization, aud now tho last rail has been laid, the last spike driven, nnd the East and tho West shake hands across the continent, and Pennsylvania ana auiornm leei more strongry than ever tin ineir interests are identical, aud that they be long to one nation. Crossing the desert am overcoming the gre.1t natural olislaclus wero not tho only dillicultics lu tho way of constructing this road? Everything noedful for tho work" except t miner, una 10 oc transported from the Atlantic States to Omaha, and thence over tho road as it advanced westward. A hundred an ten thousand tons,of Iron rails, a million fish iiliites. two million bolts, and fiftoen million I toiikes were thus carried along and put down i , the construction of the work. All the materials except brick, required for building foundries, liiiuhliic-bliops, btatiou-lioiiscs, tlegrapli line and offices, and other appnrtonanooa, hvl to bo obtained from a distance, togothor.wllh sub sistenco and stores for from five to twonty thou sand workmon, and forage for from six to eight thousand teams of mules and horses. These items will servo to givo a slight ldoa of tho mag uitudo of tho task that has boon accomplished. Tho work now is dono, tho grand highway of the nation which unltos tho Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and which will bring tho commorco of Asia across our continent Is complotcd, and tho American people can congratulate themsolvos, as well as the directors of tho road, upon tho result. Horcafter tho Journey to San Francisco will Im but a pleasant summer trip, and tho great desert tracks which intervene between tho Mississippi and tho Rocky Mountains will oro long bo pcoplod and brought undor cultivation, and tho metallic treasures which aro locked up In tho "mountain chests" will ylold a rich har vest to the nation. It is Impossible to estimate, in all lu proportions, tho importance of this great national work; and wo can only rejoice that energy, pcrsoveranco, and skill have sur mounted all obstacles and brought it to a happy conclusion.
